Prairiejones-Akubra Pictures

Here are my first pics. The one is of me and my dad. I got him one too. After all he is the one that told me twenty four years ago that Indys hat was actually an "old dress hat". I have to say that I am very pleased with how they turned out. I've spent a little more time on mine. i can certainly see some of the limitations of the Akubra, but I believe that I squeezed every ounce of Raiders that I could out of it. I found that I had to really beat the snot out of it to get what I wanted out of it. I would encourage anyone to sit on their hat, over and over. I had this one inside out a couple of times.
I want to thank everyone here for their help and imformation. Especially the web sight Indygear.com. If I hadn't found you guys, I would still be looking for this hat.
Now it's a matter of time. I'll see how it holds up and go from there. I do see a hazy figure on my horizon. I can't quite make it out yet, but I belive it is an AB.

Prairie,
That may be one of the best bashes I have ever seen anyone squeeze out of an Akubra. Great job! It's nice to see your dad involved there as well.

Great job prairiejones! Your Akubra looks great!! My Akubra does not look half as good as yours. I had better get to work on it.

That is a very cool Fedora. Can your dad do a Scottish Accent? You guys could be the original Harrison and Sean!
